Ireland need a change to salvage pride
By David Hendy
Ireland followed their narrow 22-19 loss against last week by suffering their heaviest defeat against the All Blacks with a shocking scoreline of 60-0 to the home side.
New Zealand scored nine tries in total, four in the first half and five after the interval. Flanker Sam Cane, centre Sonny Bill Williams with two, and wing Ben Smith scored tries for the All Blacks inside the first 23 minutes.
Crane added another try along with Hosea Gear, Liam Messam, Israel Dagg and Adam Thomsons to finish the rout of the Irish.

By David HendyDisappointment for the three of the Home Nations as they all bowed down to the superiority of their hosts. Ireland suffered a heavy 42-10 defeat to current Web Ellis champions New Zealand.
Wales were defeated by a resurgent Australian side 27-19 and England were edged out of a tight contest against South Africa, losing 22-17.
